If you really want to watch the tutorial on a television set as opposed to a computer monitor, yes the Quicktime files can be converted to TV compatible video by several different methods. The best (but I have not tried it) is likely to be via an interface like Apple TV. IOW a _hardware_ device designed to pass low bit rate digital video to a television set. Just remember however that the dowload video files are designed to look best on a computer monitor and may not look as good on a television set.Using software to convert one highly compressed video codec to another is _not_ recommended for the uninitiated.

OK, thanks Chris. I do not have any hardware method of conversion (in fact I have not found even a software method as yet) so I'll prolly stick to watching on the computer....

ChrisAm I breaking any copyright by copying the tutorials to DVD to play on my own computers? I don't want to keep them on the desktop of my iMac as it adds to the clutter.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=108134\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

No, IMO - what you own by virtue of having paid for, is yours to copy to other media as a 'backup' as long as it remains for your personal use only.

ChrisThanks. Anybody who wouldn't respect copyright law really doesn't belong on this forum. We all want to learn from each other but I surely hope none of us wants to take someone else's intillectual property for their own gain.
